Torquay Confirm Villa Interest In Youngster

United have confirmed that Aston Villa have expressed an interest in our schoolboy striker Liam Prynn.

The 16 year old is due to join our scholarship programme next season and he has greatly impressed Head of Youth Geoff Harrop as well as other suitors with his progress so far.

The club state though, that contrary to reports in the press, a deal is far from done and discussions will continue taking place that have an emphasis both on what is best for the club ut also Liam's future.

It's a good boost for the youth setup though knowing that a club the size of Villa are interested in players we are developing, especially with the names that Villa's youth department have produced over the years.

Villa also aren't alone in being the only Premiership club to have watched some of our Academy players over the last month.
